Brief Answer:
Healthy lifestyle + a vit D supplement.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I havegone through your query and your attached report.
Considering all your test results , i can say that you are a healthy male.
First of all,you have prediabetes and high LDL cholesterol. Both are important risc factors for heart disease.
A healthy lifestyle,a low fat diet and more exercises are helpful to lose weight.
If you reach your healthy weight prediabetes will disappear.
All your liver test can be considerated normal.My advice is to add more proteins in your diet. Meats, milk, fish, eggs,beans, legumes and gains like wheat and quinoa are good sources of protein.
At the other i suggets to add potassium and iron-rich foods in your diet(bananas,avocados,tomatos,prunes,red meat,sea foods and green vegetables.) because your blood level of potassium and your hemoglobin is low.
You have not anemia,because your RBC,red cells parameters and your iron in your blood are within the range.
Your high eosinophil count can be suggestive of allergies and this is normal considering that you suffers from skin rashes and allergies.
Vit D suplemment 2000UI/Day can also be helpful to normalise your Vit D level.
Hope I have answered to all your questions.
Best regards.
